**EUGENE ARAM: A TALE, WITH EUGENE ARAM: A TRAGEDY (1840)** **Author:** Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, Bart., M.P., M.A. (Edward Bulwer-Lytton) **Publisher:** Saunders and Otley, Conduit Street, London, with associated imprints of Simpkin, Marshall & Co.; Bell and Bradfute; and J. Cumming **Date:** 1840 **Printer:** Moyes and Barclay, Castle Street, Leicester Square, London **Language:** English **Binding:** Contemporary half-leather with marbled paper-covered boards **Condition:** Fair An early Victorian edition of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's celebrated historical novel *Eugene Aram: A Tale*, published in London in 1840, together with the author's dramatic adaptation, *Eugene Aram: A Tragedy*. First published in 1832, *Eugene Aram* is based on the life of the eighteenth-century scholar and convicted murderer Eugene Aram. The novel combines historical crime, psychological characterisation, romance and moral conflict, making it a notable contribution to the development of Victorian crime fiction. **CONTENTS AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL FEATURES** This edition includes: - The original dedication to Sir Walter Scott. - Preface to the First Edition. - Preface to the Present Edition, dated 1840. - Earlier author's advertisement dated November 1833. - The complete narrative of *Eugene Aram: A Tale*. - The additional dramatic work *Eugene Aram: A Tragedy*. - Contemporary printer's imprint of Moyes and Barclay. The presence of the 1840 preface and the separately headed tragedy is of bibliographical interest, documenting the author's continuing revision and presentation of the work. This is an original 1840 printing, not a modern reproduction. It is not the first edition of the novel. **BINDING AND CONDITION** Bound in period half-leather with marbled boards and a gilt-lettered spine. The binding exhibits substantial age-related wear. The front board is detached, the leather spine is heavily rubbed and worn, and the joints are weakened. Corners and board edges show considerable rubbing and deterioration. Internally, the pages remain generally readable, with age toning, occasional foxing and handling marks. The text block appears substantially intact. An old handwritten mark appears near the final printed page. **Overall condition: Fair.** A historically interesting copy suitable for careful consultation, collecting or sympathetic restoration. **COLLECTOR INTEREST** An appealing early Victorian example of Bulwer-Lytton's work, combining his influential historical crime novel with its dramatic adaptation. Particularly relevant to collectors of nineteenth-century English literature, Victorian crime fiction, literary adaptations and contemporary leather bindings. Offered from a private antiquarian book collection. Carefully packaged and dispatched from Spain. International tracked shipping and combined postage available.…
